Under His Nose by Candice Gilmer

Fairy godmother, Christy, is ready to retire. Three hundred and fifty years is a long career and she just wants to spend time with her loving husband. Her last job should be a breeze, if a bit unusual for her. Roarke Turner’s one true love is his childhood friend, Stephanie. However, Cupid seems to have taken an unnatural interest in Christy’s charge and Stephanie is not cooperating at all. Christy has her work cut out for her because not only is Roarke’s Happily Ever After in danger, but so is Christy’s. A bit of magic, faith, and good old fashioned meddling may be required to save the day.

Under His Nose is a light, fun, easy read. All of the characters are incredibly likable and the romance is sweet, tempered by just enough reality to make it believable. Christy and the other Fairy Godmothers are fun and fabulous. I love that Christy is married and this is her last mission, so to speak. Cupid makes for a great antagonist-the tension between the God and the fairies really adds to the story.

Roark and Stephanie are a great couple. They both have careers and are pretty set in their ways. All of the issues Stephanie has are easy to relate to. Under His Nose has a distinct voice–there is a wonderful sense of humor running throughout what is a sweet, fun, and thoroughly enjoyable romance.

About KristinD

Kristin is loving wife and doggie mom with a serious book addiction. When she is not in the kitchen whipping up a tasty confection (or cocktail) she can usually be found on the couch with her nose in a book. And she really did not hear what her husband just said to her, never mind that she responded… he should know better, she was reading. Her favorite books to read feature vampires, fae, & Gods of any pantheon (oh my!) but she has been known to pick up some pretty heavy philosophical tomes, funny memoirs, and scientific gobblygook. She also has a soft spot in her heart for good high fantasy. She fell in love with Anne Rice at far to young of an age and still has not found her way to NOLA! Kristin also spends time as a foster mom for a herding breed dog rescue in Illinois, indulging her husbands’ “silly” hobby of import/vintage video gaming, and spending as much time as she can with various members of her ridiculously large family. Somehow she manages to work full time in insurance sales but would much rather be having a kitchen dance party.
